Title: [ID: Fakie Care Bears!] Care Bear fakie, or not?
Post by: Roxanne on Monday 20 June 2011, 05:25 am

I like to go to flea markets now and then.
And it has happened a couple of times that I saw these plushies that looked alot like Care Bears,
but obviously, were not Care Bears.
I saw a yellow bear once, and a turquoise one if I am not mistaken.
One had, I think the yellow one. A melody as tummy symbol.
I didn't gave much thought to it at the beginning since I just thought it was a CB fakie, nothing more.
But then I thought it was kinda strange; You won't be seeing fakies all that much.
Maybe they are not fakies, but actually have their own brand, and just look like CB's?
So I decided the next time I would find one, I would buy it to show you guys, and I found one.
This time it's a rabbit with a rainbow and a cloud as a tummy symbol.

(If you want to see more photo's, please say so :))

If anyone can tell me more about these bears, I would be happy.

Thanks in advance!

I have seen some like this also (I live in California) and I've always assumed they were care bear fakies. the manufacturing isn't up to par with the real Care Bears, they're much more cheaply made.

I have a few fakies of this type - same tummy symbol, but bears rather than rabbits :)

"Flare Bears and Flare Bear Cousins"  :) lol. The "f" is for fakie.
